Important Announcement from Mrs. Conard

5th Grade Band and Parents,

What a crazy time this is! I hope you are staying healthy and safe at home. It hurts me to think that your last days in elementary school might be spent at home and not with your friends and classmates. It hurts me to think that we might not get to have a Spring concert and make music together again this school year. I am truly sorry about all of this, and we will get through it together. 

This page is your main source for 5th grade band information. Please bookmark this page. Check the online learning tab for band assignments and educational links. A good habit would be to check every Monday for new information. Announcements and reminders will also be sent out through e-notes. If you are not receiving 5th grade band e-notes, please let me know.
 
I know your other teachers are probably giving you a lot of homework. I don't want you to stress out over band adding more work to that, but you do need to continue practicing your instrument at home. Playing your instrument is a great way to pass the time, and it will make you (and the band) better! Musicians can never be bored! Here's a little something I did this week with a few other flutists from all over the world:
 
 
I miss making music with all of you, and I know you miss band and all your friends, too. Hope to see you all again very soon. If you need anything, please email me or Mr. V.

Musically,

Danette Conard
